Job 34:5,6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Job hath said, I am righteous I am so far righteous that I have not deserved, nor had any reason to expect, such hard usage from God. God hath taken away my judgment So Job had said, Job 27:2; that is, he denies me that which is just and equal, namely, to give me a fair hearing. Should I lie against my right Thus Job had spoken in effect, Job 27:4-6. Should I falsely accuse myself of sins of which I am not guilty? Should I betray mine own cause, and deny that integrity which I am conscious I possess? My wound is incurable without transgression Without any such crying sin as might reasonably bring down such terrible judgments upon my head.

Job 34:5-6

5 For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

6 Should I lie against my right? my woundb is incurable without transgression.
